Did the voters get it right on the first finalists?

So the first finalists officially named are Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, and Danny Gokey. What do you think? Did they get it right?

I personally felt that Anoop Desai was a little robbed. No, he didn't give the greatest perforance we had seen from him, but we know what he is capable of greatness. But to be honest, I suspect we will see him return as a wild card just like Clay Aiken did Season 2. And I expect he will make it to the Top 10 as well.

Michael Sarver will have a big Texas fan base pulling for him, but I think he would gain a much broader fan base if he would start singing country music. Come on, Michael! Your life is a country song! It is who you are!!!

Anyway, I felt bad for Tatiana, but it was bound to happen some time or the other. Next week is a whole new line up. Is there anyone we should be watching out for? We'll see. I'm still waiting for a girl to knock one out of the park.
